Count out 10 pieces of pepperoni. Then eat the rest of the package.Put the pasta sauce into your Little Dipper, and plug it in. Add the Italian seasoning and diced pepperoni. Shove in the cup of shredded cheese. I promise it will fit. Cover and leave plugged in (there are no heat settings on a Little Dipper) for 45 min or so.

Stir well and serve with tortilla chips, bread sticks, or crustini.

Homemade Crustini: Use 6 slices or so of your favorite bread. We are gluten free, so I use GF bread.Cut the bread into strips -- you'll get 3-4 strips per piece of bread.Lightly brush olive oil on to the bread strips.Sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper. Bake at 400 degrees for about 15 min, flipping once half-way through.

The Verdict.

This was great. We spread out a blanket in front of the TV and had a carpet picnic with the pizza fondue and watched Redboxdvds. How come I didn't know about redbox earlier?

I didn't find you until a friend told me about you in August (but I have looked at your archives). Since I found your web site, I look forward every day to logging in to see what you made and your honest verdict. I know that this was a new year's resolution for 2008, but I hope you continue it in 2009. Your's is my favorite site.

We'll definitely be trying this one. Thank you so much for creating this. I too have unnatural obession with my crockpot. And thank you for being a GF cooker. My sis has celiac's disease so this website has given her hope on eating normally again.

thank yoU!!! it's weird...I just pullud out my mini pot & was going to make chicken dip (crm of chicken soup, cream cheese, can chicken & jalapenos) but was out of chicken & soup....so i put it away...now it's back out & got this in it!

Unfortunately, I just found out about your blog last week. Fortunately, I have a year's worth of archived recipes to go through. I am a new crockpotter and haven't had much luck so far but am looking forward to trying many of your recipes!

I LOVE fondue! And my 2 year old loves pizza, so this will be perfect for our annual family New Year's Eve Fondue Party! (We stay in and do fondue). Thank you SOOO much for all of your recipes! We especially love the Pasta Fagioli at our house (it gets made almost every week!)

Well, that sounds so much better than the soup it is not even funny! I think I might bring this instead of the chili cheese dip I was planning on for New Year's eve. Thanks so much for your work on this blog this year. It has been a blessing. I had a 6.5qt oval and what I thought was a little dipper. I asked for a 6.5qt smartpot combo that came with a little dipper for Christmas. When I got it I realized that my 'lil dipper' was actually a 1 quart! I always wondered why mine held more than yours! Imagine my surprise when I noticed that it says 1 quart 'crockette' right on the front of it. I've only had it for several years. Shows you how observant I am! But, thanks to you and your blog I now use my crockpots a couple times a week instead of a couple times a month. I also got myself a 4 quart slow cooker for about $9 after sales and rebates so I have increased my crockpot count from 2 up to 5 in the past month! There is no stopping me now!!

I just found your site through a friend this month and have been frantically sorting through each day and printing out recipes. Everything I have made has been a huge hit. I am sure this has been a LOT of work but I really hope you keep doing this in 2009 it has been an incredible site which I check each day! THANKS!!!

Wow, I really hope you keep blogging recipes in 2009. Even if they're not crockpot recipes, I'd be happy. Your recipes are usually so easy to do, and a great break from my normal routine. Since I'm not gluten-free, I tend to rely on a lot of the same old stuff (pasta... and more pasta), and your recipes always break me out of that rut.

Will try this recipe out on my boyfriend, he loves pizza. I may have to skip the peperoni though.

I could cry! I cant believe tommorow is it! I am going to miss reading everyday. But I will be going through the archives. I have applesauce chicken in my pot right now. Congrats on making it the whole year! I used to think my crockpot was only good for chili!

I love your blogs! I laugh out loud sometimes, even. I initially panicked when I saw Day 365, so I am glad that you are doing another one tomorrow. I have used so many of your recipes, and I have loved them all! Thanks so much!

Ok, YUM this sounds SOOO good! I really need a little dipper, or maybe I could just make 6.5 quarts in my regular crockpot!!! LOL, maybe not...

I must make this bread you used also. I've never heard of it before, but I'm getting a tour of Whole Foods from the marketing director next week to show me all of the gluten-free foods they carry. I will be keeping an eye out for this bread mix.

Also, I LOVE those Hormel turkey pepperoni pillow packs. They are so yummy and you can eat like 17 slices for 80 calories. HEAVEN!!!

Thanks for this recipe, I will be sure to try it.

Oh, and I puffy heart YOU for all of your creative and wonderful recipes and your fabulous sense of humor. <3

I cannot believe it is day 365 and I JUST FOUND YOU! Wah! I love my crockpots (yes, I have 3) but I don't have a Little Dipper and my kids would LOVE this pizza dipping idea. I need to get to Target NOW. You're bookmarked and I'm going to love reading your history!

Stephanie, NOT an airhead (especially not with your name! ;-0 ) I walked by the redbox machine for YEARS without noticing it. Largeish grocery stores have them, and they dispense dvds for $0.99. google redbox, then plug in your zipcode to find one near you.

Katie, NO. no water. Put the dish in, then the ingredients in the dish. The dish and the crockpot need to heat up together.

Oh my God this was amazing! I was trying to find a recipe for fish in your archives, but when I saw this I had to make it. I ran out and bought a Little Dipper and some pepperoni. My husband and I ate it with garlic breadsticks and I now have a giant food baby.

OMG, I love pizza fondue!!! :-)You have been very coy about your plans for 2009, at least I haven't seen anything and I see the questions just about daily from folks sad the year is about over. I hope you continue, although I would certainly understand if you called it a day. Or a week. LOL!Here's another vote for you to keep on blogging! XOXO Suze

Dear Stephanie,I just had to write to you to say thank you so much for your wonderful website. I've been in Crockpotty heaven since I subscribed to your daily recipes 2½ months ago.

You're enthusiasm has inspired me to start using my own crockpot, which has sadly been relocated to the back of the bottom shelf of my cupboard for far too long.

I guess it comes as no surprise that your daily recipes, should reach those of us at the bottom of the world, here in New Zealand, which leads me to wonder how many people in other countries around the world that have been CrockPotted by you! I am absolutely staggered that you have 3,500,000 bloggers to your site and that appears to be only the ones from the USA!

I've been especially interested in your 'little dipper' as we do not have them here in New Zealand. However, just recently, I purchased on our online auction site [similar to ebay], a small crockpot which is just perfect for cooking for one! I've not seen these anywhere and think that it may have come from overseas. It holds about 3 - 4 cups and I love it!

I have bookmarked your website and have and will do in the future, refer to it regularly.

You have to be the only person I know and I suspect, the only person in the World!!, who has ever completed their New Year's Resolution and for that you deserve a Gold Medal of Olympic proportions!!

I wish you and your family lots of rich blessings for 2009 and hope that you will share with us your New Year's Resolution for 2009! I can't wait... :-)

Take Care & Happy CrockPotting!Paddy [from the South Island of New Zealand]

P.s. Just to let you know, that our 2009 kicks off 16 hours ahead of you guys ..... that gives us a pretty good head start don't you think! :-)

I know you have posted that you will not continue the crockpot blog, but do you have another blog that I can follow? I enjoy your writing very much and want to keep up with you.Thanks,MarniPS-everything I've made from your blog has been winners in our home!

Just wanted to give you a pat on the back for making it to day 365! (I didn't realize until this week that it was leap year this year either! I guess that gives us both an extra day!)Looking forward to sifting through your old blog posts.. and seeing if you're still posting in 2009! Happy new year!

YUM!!!! YUM!!! And As luck would have it Steph I recived the little dipper for my birthday from Mum and Dad So will be trying this thanks for the year of meals and memories i.e. Rachel Ray, And For linking my recipe ( I should've been charging for each and every link over haha) I Hope that 2009 is a great year as well for you and yours.

My friend is getting a little dipper for me off of freecycle.com - obviously people who have missed your fantastic blog! And now I can make pizza fondue - I will miss you and your recipes!! You are one fun gal!

Thanks for this - perfect timing! I'm heading out tomorrow to buy the fondue supplies and I think I'll add this as the boys would enjoy it. I have posted our favorite chocolate fondue recipe on my blog if you're interested.

On Christmas Eve, I wanted the house to smell all Christmasy, so I pulled out the Little Dipper, threw in some orange peels, cinnamon sticks, and various spices, and let the good times roll. The house smelled fantastic!

Your blog is excellent; I wish I had found it sooner! Our family loves Mexican too, and I plan to try lots of your recipes in the New Year!

I'm glad you like this pizza fondue recipe; I have a similar, even easier one: 2 cans pizza sauce, 1 small box Velveeta cheese. Melt and dip with foccacia bread. I like this recipe because it doesn't use sandwich meat which contain nitrates...

I LOVE my little dipper too! It is awesome for melting chocolate and obviously perfect for keeping party dips warm. I've been raving about it to all my friends since we've been in entertaining mode over the holiday season and I've had many opportunities to pull it out. To say nothing of the hundred buckeyes I used it to dip in chocolate. ;) I love that it melts the chocolate perfect. You don't have to worry about steam burn on your arm from a double broiler or scalding the chocolate in the microwave and having to keep reheating it over and over as it gets too firm for dipping. Ahhh, I could never go back!

We make something similar in the oven - layer of cream cheese, layer of pizza sauce, layer of chopped pepperoni and layer of mozerella - its always a huge hit. Love that there is a fondue equivalent... thanks!

Hi! I love your blog. I found this just in time. I got a fondue pot for Christmas and wanted some recipes. The chocolate one sounds yummy and I plan to make it for my hubby and me to enjoy of Vday. THANKS!!!!!

I made this for my Bunko ladies last night...I left the kitchen for a few minutes, and when I came back, they were scraping the pot clean! I couldn't believe it!! It was delicious...I am glad I had one little cracker with the dip! I had put out roasted garlic melba toast to use as dippers...but I think some of my friends might have used their fingers!

This is awesome. Pizza is the hardest thing for a kid to give up on a gluten-free diet... esp when everyone else around her can eat it. This is something we can all enjoy and not feel like we are missing out on pizza!! Thank you!

OMg! I need to buy a Little Dipper this weekend. My son is the pickiest eater ever! (he took my crown, but he loves loves loves pizza. He won't eat aything that is red (except pizza)so maybe I can get him to try this, love it and then try some soup or spaghetti sauce. I just love your blog. I read it serveral times a day and have already made several of your recipes. My husband LOVED the Chinese Lemon Chicken and tomorrow I can't wait to try the cabbage rolls. I am practically drooling in anticipation...lol.

I've made this recipe before and my suitemates LOVED it, I used smart deli brand pepperoni. But I was wondering if I can use italian sausage in replacement of the pepperoni, would you recommend that? It's the smart deli brand so it doesn't have to cook as long as real sausage. Thanks in advance!

Love the directions, count out 10 pepperoni, eat rest of package. Yep, that's pretty much how I do it! Haha love this! I host a recipe swap every month and this months theme is crock pots. I finally found something I want to use. Thanks for sharing!!!
